英国皇家空军一架鹰式T2教练机周三在威尔士安格尔西从RAF谷地空军基地起飞后不久发生坠毁,并在坠毁时发生爆炸。1两名飞行员成功跳伞逃生,落地后受轻伤。1飞机坠毁在彭卡尼西奥格地区,距空军基地不足两英里。1
飞机在失事前出现明显异常迹象。1当地见证人皮特·贝内特描述称,飞机起飞时喷出橙色火焰,随后爬升角度急剧,在空中剧烈颠簸两次,并伴随两声清晰的巨响。1飞行员随即跳伞脱险。1
RAF发言人表示:"一起涉及从RAF谷地起飞的RAF T2鹰式飞机的事件发生在安格尔西附近。正在进行调查,此时我们不作进一步评论。"1防卫大臣韦斯·斯特里廷随后发表声明称:"我的想法首先是与飞行员同在。我们将适时提供进一步更新。"1
A Hawk T2 training aircraft operated by the Royal Air Force crashed and exploded in Anglesey, Wales on Wednesday moments after both pilots ejected successfully.1 The aircraft, which had taken off from RAF Valley moments before the incident, came down near Pencarnisiog, less than two miles from the base.1
The two pilots sustained only minor injuries after parachuting to safety.1 Witnesses reported that the aircraft exhibited severe instability during flight, including an extremely steep climb angle and violent oscillations in the air.1 Local resident Peter Bennett described seeing orange flames as the jet took off, followed by two loud explosions before the pilots ejected.1 The wreckage came to rest approximately one mile inland from the runway.1
An RAF spokesman stated: "An incident involving an RAF T2 Hawk aircraft that departed from RAF Valley has occurred near Anglesey. An investigation is underway and we will not be making further comment at this time."1 Defence Secretary Wes Streeting added: "My thoughts are first with the pilots. We will provide further updates in due course."1
